The investors from the institute almost fainted from sheer shock and sadness, but fortunately, it seemed like the heavens were looking out for them because there were still plenty of wealthy and foolish people in the world, like the White family. Even with the economic collapse that followed the crisis and no students in the school, the White family eagerly offered to buy the school from the investors!The investors suddenly felt blessed by every deity that ever existed. They gave thanks in churches, temples, and mosques; they had finally managed to get the fire out of their hands. With almost no negotiation, the investors sold the school for half a million, when it had cost 300 thousand to build. It was simple math; selling it was pure profit for the investors!With this idea in mind, the investors dropped the school like a hot cake and happily moved on with the money. Unfortunately, none of them could imagine the significant changes this academy would bring to the world. It would be
"All of you are more than qualified to enroll here, and your fees will be waived, and this offer will be extended to your children as well," Liana nodded firmly, and this was the extra Liana offered to them, which made warmth engulf them as they looked at her with strong emotions in their eyes."Liana, thank you," Ali said sincerely. "With just this promise, I swear to protect this academy with my life! For this academy, I am willing to do anything!""Me too, this academy is our endeavor as well. We will fight to the death against anyone who dares to challenge the establishment of this academy!" Sam added with a bright smile."Alright, we will open this academy today. We will never give up," Liana smiled, and they all responded with a unanimous yes. With the sunlight filtering through the green trees, they made this precious promise.Watching them, Edward could feel every cell in his body boiling. A smile appeared on his face as he acted as a witness to their promise; he would keep th
Not only that, even if you were to lose, if you had shown incredible talent, you would have the chance to join Project Academy as faculty with an annual salary of $120,000. In other words, if you were to win this competition, and even if you chose to reject the job offer, a life of luxury would already be yours. Even if you lost, there was still a chance for that with an honest job. This unprecedented academic competition was given a fitting name: Academic Olympics. The world was shocked by the news, and all the arrogant experts were moved by the allure of the prize. Many experts mobilized because the registration period would only be open for fifteen days. If they missed this, it would be a lifetime regret, and all the talents who saw this news moved to the city of Makenzi in the United States to participate in this competition. Of course, Liana also sent many invitations to world-famous scientists and institutions, inviting them to participate in the competition, and the President a
"I must admit, Miss Liana has her talent; even a competition like this in her hands has become a great success," Sonia acted as if there were no conflicts between her and Liana, smiling faintly. "Miss, you will definitely be the pride and focus of the United States in the future.""Thank you, Miss Velardes, for your kind compliment," Liana decided to play along for now."You're welcome," Sonia smiled, but there seemed to be many secrets behind that simple smile.Liana made sure her friends paid close attention to Sonia in secret; she had a feeling this woman was up to something. Although Sonia was a citizen of the United States and represented the United Nations, and therefore should be a law-abiding citizen, for some reason, Liana felt the need to be cautious around her, and her instincts had never failed her before.However, the ten days of the Academic Olympics passed relatively peacefully, and Sonia didn't do anything suspicious. Each category had its final winner. The brightest w
Their two days of research yielded nothing, and they couldn't find a cure. The country's hospitals were overwhelmed, and the government had no choice but to repurpose vacant buildings into temporary hospitals and mobilize medical experts from across the country to deal with this crisis. Even so, there were so many patients that each doctor had to juggle more than a handful of cases, and foreign ambassadors with whom the President had met during the competition were getting infected one after the other, including the ambassadors of the United States, who couldn't escape this fate.However, what chilled Liana's heart was the fact that Edward also showed signs of infection. When he first noticed weaknesses appearing in his body, he immediately distanced himself from Liana and requested to be put in quarantine. After Sergio's examination, he confirmed that Edward had also fallen victim to the virus, and when he broke the news to her, her face paled."How serious is he?" she asked, and the
"Sonia, it's a shame you're not a screenwriter or an actress because I'm sure your drama would sell.""Liana!" Sonia emitted a stern voice. "Don't try to escape this; do you dare to say you don't want to save these criminals? Do you admit that you don't have a good relationship with them?""That's right, I said those things, but so what?" Liana nodded quickly."So, the reason for this curious competition is to ruin the world and then save it. Only these criminals are capable of creating such a contagious virus, and you must have taken that virus from them," Sonia smiled, and this time, the presumption was quite apparent."Not a bad hypothesis, what else?" Liana asked."What do you mean, what else? The fact that you collaborated with these terrorists to harm the world isn't enough? Or are you telling me you have another purpose? You better confess, and we can consider giving you a lighter sentence," Sonia taunted."What do you want me to confess?" Liana asked calmly, as if she were jus
"Liana didn't say they were the ones who released it, but they were connected to it. Maybe they were exploited."This was entirely possible. After all, the pretext used to take them away was completely absurd, and Sam and the others became anxious and angry thinking about it."If this is really related to them, then what are the United Nations doing? Why would they do this? Have they lost their minds?" The few of them felt fear bubbling within them.This issue seemed to be more complicated and twisted than they thought, but Liana didn't answer and focused on her work, and she did so for two consecutive days. Many things happened during those two days.For example, Sonia stopped picking fights with Liana and instead started doing charity work. She visited patients every day and offered ideas to improve medical services. She even made a public announcement to calm the public and taught them how to stay infection-free.She even helped the U.S. Department of Foreign Affairs handle the pre
"—It's really related to Gabriel and the guys..." Sam pronounced disbelievingly."Why would they do this? Or maybe they're being manipulated?" Ali also found it hard to accept."We'll talk about this later, but right now, we need to go to the hospital and put an end to this sinister scheme!" Liana stood up to announce, preparing to leave."Let's go!" They all responded in unison, and they reached the hospital in record time.However, they found an unwelcome visitor there; it was Sonia, who spent a lot of time at the hospital, as if she were afraid people wouldn't know she cared for these patients. So, the two sides naturally encountered each other. When they saw her, Sam and his group darkened their faces and projected open hostility towards her, and Sonia did the same, although a fake smile still lingered on her face."Liana, and here I thought you all had gone into hiding," Sonia provocatively said, the true meaning of her statement was clear as
